Best Pen?

[Peter Griffin]

I find the Montblanc Meisterstuck rollerball pen the best pen I own.

That's a $230US pen. I don't know if taking it to class for note taking would be the best idea

I usually grab a ten pack of Papermate pens at the beginning of the year and I usually end up with a few unknown pens picked up from fast-food places, registrar's office, and floors...

I really like this pen that I picked up somewhere:

I don't like the cheap Bics or the Papermate flexgrips because the line is too thick; I think it's because I handwrite. I prefer pens that clicks instead of ones that have lids. They give you something to do while thinking about the question and you can have loads of fun with the spring after haha.

I avoid using pencils for notes because they tend to smudge after a while.

Hands down the Paper Mate Xtend ("Grip to the tip"), which came out a year or two ago...has a soft grip right to the tip, especially if you hold the pen close to the tip like me. It's retractable and at a reasonable cost.

For pencils I use anything with a twist-out long eraser, so I never need to carry an eraser around.

Let's start posting some Staples links!

The Xtend also gets my vote.

I know most ppl on here will agree, the best pen for RFD members is:
a "FREE PEN". Everything just seems better when its free.
